Sister's 9-Year Search for Missing Brother

Suzy Maltwood has been investigating the disappearance of her brother, Shaune Jones, who vanished nearly nine years ago. Shaune, who would be 54 if alive, was last seen in the summer of 2017 in Eltham, south London. His sister, Suzy, believes he was murdered and is critical of the police's initial response, stating they did not take the case seriously enough.

Suzy last spoke to Shaune in February 2017, when he was planning to meet someone from a dating app. She reported him missing in November 2017, but claims police took months to launch a full investigation. She alleges that the police investigation yielded only information she had already provided, and due to data protection, they could not share details about Shaune, an adult, despite his history of borderline schizophrenia.

Her own inquiries led her to track Shaune to the Isle of Sheppey in May 2017, where he sold a van. Witnesses there described him as unwell. Police later confirmed he committed a traffic offense in the same area around that time. Despite a two-year police probe, no concrete evidence of Shaune's whereabouts or what happened to him was found, and the investigation was filed pending new information.
